And do you like gingerbread cookies? You should get this coffee-- I mean it. It is delicious.
Remember that coffee shop I wrote about before? The one that has coffee that was digested and pooped out? So, I went there yesterday when the boy took the day off to hang out with me and we went to Santa Monica. I have only one word to describe the coffee shop: P R E T E N T I O U S.
You can read the boy's review here, but I'm going to repost the text here just because I find it so terribly amusing and mostly true (there was like one other laptop type there, I swear!):
My review of the Funnel Mill coffee shop in Asshole, CA
Gentle reader, I beg you to imagine a scale. A scale charting how cool a given person is!
At the uttermost bottom sits the Lord of all Frat Boys, Trev's new beer-bong in hand. This creature is a one. Now imagine a man transcending the opaline heights of this order. Imagine Steve Jobs. He is a ten.
Where do you fit in this hierarchy? Before answering, consider your honest answers to the following questions:
* Would you consider yourself a writer?
* Do you own a spankin' laptop computer?
* Does the prospect of meditating near a waterfall soothe your nerves, recently frayed from difficulty convincing your co-workers of the benefits of switching to Python?
* Is fruit improved by completing a full passage through a jungle-rat's digestive and excretory systems?
* Can you read Chinese?
* Do you like to look at Chinese characters anyway?
* Is this awesome?
* Would you prefer to peruse a crumbling, leather-bound menu-tome over something so pedestrian as a wall menu?
If, after carefully considering the answers to these questions, you still consider yourself to be an eight or higher, have I got the coffee shop for you!
It is called Funnel Mill, and if you like it I hate you.
Thinking about going to the Funnel Mill Rare Coffee & Tea soon! Well, at least whilst I am still on break because, man oh man, will it get busy soon enough. The ambiance sounds lovely and I've never had coffee made with a Syphon maker! Also? I am intrigued by this Kopi Luwa "poop" coffee from Indonesia! If you are so inclined, you really ought to read/watch the other reviews. :) Not sure if I am intrigued enough to hand over $65 for a cup, let alone $500 for a pound of it, but you bet I'll be watching to see if anyone buys a cup!
Another event I am looking forward to because I am silly:
If you are in the LA area, you should come! :D
so, i asked the girl at seattle's best coffee shop this morning for an extra shot in my medium coffee, assuming that it would be 2 shots + 1 extra shot. but, what i saw her do was grab a shot in each hand and pour, then grab two more glasses and pour again. this means that i've almost had four shots of espresso (i'm almost done drinking it, wheeee!). this might be a problem.
